Gladly:
You're in here because you have befriended a bunch of right wingers, probably on their Discord even though they were banned from the platform years ago. You heard the rumors of how hateful and bigoted they are, but when you went to see what all the hullabaloo was all about, they were actually welcoming to you. Chill..Perhaps even kind. And their opposition to the lockdowns made sense, so you shacked up with them politically.
Cut to you seeing leftfam frothing at the mouth over blatant death threats you've become conditioned to automatically dismiss as overblown, because you know these people, and they wouldn't hurt you (snrrk), so a Trump supporter saying live on TV "kill 'em all" and a reporter agreeing with him must not be just that. It has to be a miscommunication, or the reporter didn't hear even though the guy said it twice, or any number of dumbass excuses you've already conjured up to protect your "friends".
Wake the fuck up, dumbass: the right wing are NOT your friends, they are not reasonable or principled or have your best interests at heart. They are petty, vindictive, immature and champing at the bit to get back at the left for the lockdowns, and that's why they are openly aggressive now. You are not "one of the good ones". They are not going to spare you either.
They want to kill anyone who doesn't agree with them or lives the way they want you to. They overturned Roe vs. Wade which has already killed and maimed people. Ron Desantis is putting out campaign ads bragging about the anti-LGBTQ laws he got passed in Florida, with fucking soldiers goose-stepping toward Nazi symbols. And now this.
They are openly saying they want to kill anyone who is different from them, and you are defending them.
You are a despicable piece of shit.
From the quick scan of it I can tell you’ve made many incorrect assumptions about me and my life. Like waaaaaaaay the fuck off base and ended it by calling me a piece of shit, but I don’t need to explain myself to you so fuck off, pal.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is what a centrist really looks like ^^
And below, you can see what a centrist blatantly lying to your face looks like:
Nah, I’m actually really left leaning, I just don’t have my head my ass about it.
